Typo fix, but the advice looks sound.

When using an AMD Radeon GPU, you may also need to emerge `amdgpu-pro-vulkan` to get Bevy to find the GPU.
When using an AMD Radeon GPU, you may also need to emerge `amdgpu-pro-vulkan` to get Bevy to find the GPU.

When using a NVIDIA GPU with the proprietary driver (eg. `x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers`), you may also need to emerge `media-libs/vulkan-loader` to get Bevy to find the GPU. NVIDIA Vulkan driver is included in `nvidia-driver`, but may need the loader to find the correct ICD. See Gentoo [Documentation](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/) for details..

Is there a more specific link to the docs you can give?

Can you expand the ICD acronym? It's giving me trouble to Google and I'm not familiar with it.

ICD is the acronym used in the Gentoo doc, I guess driver will suffice.
